His family emigrated from Central Asia to India in the sixteenth century, in the reign of Babar, and settled in the Panjab, where they were granted a large tract of land, about seventy miles from Lahore. The capital of this little State was known as Islampur, and is the modern Qadian.

The father was by profession a native physician of some learning, and desired that his son, who early showed an aptitude for study, should be wel
